'''Crouching''' (or '''Squat''' internally in ''Brawl''), often simply called '''ducking''', is a ground-based position achieved by holding down on the [[control stick]] or [[d-pad]] when standing. Crouching shortens the [[character]]'s [[damage]]able [[Hitbox#Collision_Bubbles|collision bubble]] and can be used to [[crouch cancelling|crouch cancel]] enemy attacks. A crouching character can also [[crawl]], if the character has the ability. To get up again, stop holding down on the control stick or d-pad.

How well a crouch can help a character dodge attacks is highly dependent on the crouching animation. Some characters can become very difficult to hit since they crouch so low (such as [[Kirby]], [[Jigglypuff]], [[Snake (SSBB)|Snake]], and [[Sheik]]). Other characters, however, barely lower themselves at all by crouching (such as [[Meta Knight (SSBB)|Meta Knight]] and [[Bowser]]).
